- Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. presented at the Metals Investor Forum in January 2026, outlining its plan to explore for and develop a significant organic P205 resource, in northeast Nevada, to supply raw, organic phosphate directly to farmers.
- The company’s Murdock Mountain project in Nevada has confirmed trace to no heavy-metal content, supporting its potential use in certified organic agriculture, with drill results pointing to phosphate grades of roughly 10%–12% P₂O₅ with strong lateral continuity.
- The company believes its Nevada deposits could support a resource in the range of 200 million tonnes, and the site’s location near Union Pacific rail infrastructure may simplify logistics for direct-ship fertilizer distribution.
- Analyst and shareholder John Kaiser examined how a scalable supply of organic phosphate could enable growth in organic farming.
Nevada Organic Phosphate (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF), a B.C.-based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, participated in the Metals Investor Forum in January 2026, where it highlighted its position as a significant potential producer of raw, organic, direct-ship pit-run phosphate fertilizer aimed at the expanding organic farming market. The Vancouver-based company used the forum to outline progress at its Murdock Mountain Property in Elko County, Nevada, and to discuss how a scalable supply of organic phosphate could address a key constraint facing organic agriculture: access to fertilizer inputs that meet organic certification standards.
Investor attention has been sharpened by a recent analysis published by Kaiser Research Substack, in which Nevada Organic Phosphate shareholder John Kaiser explored the question, “What would a scalable supply of organic phosphate do for the growth of organic farming and what would that be worth?” (https://ibn.fm/R8FAX).
Kaiser’s analysis frames Nevada Organic Phosphate as distinct from many junior mining stories tied to geopolitical supply chains. Instead, he positions NOP as linked to domestic food systems and organic agriculture. He also notes that the company’s shares experienced increased activity in January following release of drill results.
NOP recently completed an initial six-hole drill program at Murdock Mountain after receiving a long-awaited Bureau of Land Management permit in late 2025. The program confirmed phosphate grades in the 10%–12% P₂O₅ range and demonstrated lateral continuity of the mineralized beds.
More significant for organic agriculture, according to Kaiser’s analysis, was confirmation that heavy metal content in fresh bedrock remains below U.S. Department of Agriculture thresholds for organic field application. This addressed a central uncertainty: whether low heavy-metal levels observed in surface outcrops would persist at depth. The results suggest that the broader phosphate beds beneath the Leach Mountain Range may share similar characteristics, supporting NOP’s view that it could ultimately delineate a resource on the order of 200 million tonnes suitable for direct application as ground rock fertilizer.
Phosphate is essential for crop growth, with roughly 90% of global supply used in agriculture. Most commercial phosphate comes from higher-grade sedimentary deposits that require chemical processing to remove heavy metals. The resulting products, such as monoammonium phosphate (“MAP”) and di-ammonium phosphate (“DAP”), do not qualify as organic.
Organic farmers instead rely on bone meal and manure-based inputs, which are by-products of livestock production and cannot scale easily with rising demand for organic food. Kaiser notes that while a scalable supply of organic phosphate alone would not guarantee expansion of organic agriculture, it represents a critical enabling input.
USDA data from 2022 show organic farm output at about $9 billion, compared with more than $200 billion for conventional agriculture. Demand for organic fruits, vegetables, eggs, and dairy continues to outpace supply in many regions, raising questions about how fertilizer inputs could keep pace. NOP is targeting this gap with a whole-rock product that can be applied directly to fields and is designed to work with soil biology over longer timeframes.
The Murdock Mountain project benefits from proximity to Union Pacific rail infrastructure near Montello, Nevada, which could support bulk transport of ground phosphate to agricultural markets. The company’s production model is based on shallow sedimentary beds that may allow relatively straightforward extraction, followed by grinding, bagging, and shipment. NOP says its approach avoids the need for chemical beneficiation, which typically adds cost and environmental complexity.
Exploration targets across the expanded project area now cover more than 7,800 acres. Company disclosures cite an Exploration Target Mineralization Inventory ranging from 10 to 46 million tonnes on the initial application area, with broader potential across new lease-application ground reaching 200–220 million tonnes. NOP expects to continue delineation work through 2026, with certification and agronomic testing planned to evaluate suitability across different soil types and crops.
NOP’s strategy centers on direct application of reactive rock phosphate rather than competing with conventional chemical fertilizer producers. The company says its product is intended to support regenerative farming practices by working with natural soil bacteria and promoting longer-term nutrient availability.
While still at an early stage, Nevada Organic Phosphate is positioning its Nevada assets as a potential alternative source of organic-certified phosphate at scale, an input that many observers see as necessary if organic agriculture is to expand beyond its current footprint.
